The Mexico City Council at the recommendation of the city Public Works Department has removed a temporary no-parking restriction along Savannah Court on the city’s northwest end.

The street has had construction activity in recent years, prompting Public Works to look at temporary no-parking along the west side streets with the caveat the situation would be reviewed after a year.

City Public Works Director Drew Williford told the council at their regular meeting on Monday, Nov. 13, that his department recently conducted a traffic count study and found an average of 249 cars per day with a peak hourly volume of 27 vehicles which is less than two vehicles per minute.

“Our review concludes that there is no need for a temporary no parking or permanent parking that whole entire length there,” Williford said. 

The parking restrictions that were made permanent where the street curves to the west will remain in place. Those parking restrictions were put into place because of insufficient clearance existing along the northern curve of the road when parking is permitted on both sides of the street.

Williford said a neighborhood survey was conducted with not much pushback. The change will affect 660 feet of linear street.
